sargie Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I recently purchased a cover for my 800XL from these fine people: http://www.ebay.com/usr/papa*nannysfunstuff?_trksid=p2047675.l2559 I'm really pleased with it, so I asked the people behind he covers if they could make one for the 1200. They said there is not enough demand ( 2 or 3 inquiries in the last few years) but if we could get 50 or so people interested we should let them know. Do you fine people think we cab get 50 people interested on AtariAge in a 1200XL cover so we could persuade them to make one?

Gunstar Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) I want one for my 1200XL definitely. I've been looking for one since I tried to order one of the classic brown ones from Best Electronics, they are sold out. Apparently for the 1050, 1025 and 1010 as well as I attempted to order one of each. But if it helps to reach the 50 mark, count me in for two.

Level42 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 How about 600XL and 1050 ? Worst thing for me are the shipping costs though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillC Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 The linked info indicates covers are available for the entire Atari 8-bit computer line except the 1400XL/1450XL. All 3 Atari brand floppy drives, and the Indus GT and Rana Systems 1000 drives too. http://www.slor.net/a8/covers.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erichenneke Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 In case anyone is wondering, a 5200 dust cover fits a 1200XL very well. 5200 covers are much easier to come by, and the fit is actually pretty good. I just put one on my 1200XL. As long as you don't mind it saying "Atari 5200". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Very nice, but...uh...it doesn't do much good if you don't clean the 1200XL off in the first place... Mine has never gotten that dirty without a dust cover.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erichenneke Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Very nice, but...uh...it doesn't do much good if you don't clean the 1200XL off in the first place... Mine has never gotten that dirty without a dust cover.. That's why i realized I needed to put it under a dust cover if I was going to leave it "out on display" all the time. Yes, it was pretty dusty. I guess I should have dusted it BEFORE the picture. Duh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
